OPEN Soccer Nets in Chicago with Lights Right Now!

LAST UPDATED: December 24th, 2020

Looking to get some touches in but haven’t found an open net in Chicago? We got your back. We’ve scouted out all outdoor soccer fields around Chicago to figure out which ones are currently open (with nets) and have put together this running list for the community.

We will do our best to keep this list up-to-date, but things may change pretty quickly in this environment. Please email us at info@squadz.com if you find any of these courts have been closed.

Note from The Squadz Team: We do not condone reckless use of facilities that might jeopardize the containment of the COVID-19 virus. Please wear a mask whenever possible and keep your distance from people outside of your group. We simply want this to be a helpful resource for families, roommates, or quarantine units to get outside and play responsibly.

NEWS: The city is enforcing more strict rules to combat recent spikes in Covid-19 cases, so it is more important now than ever to follow health protocols that way they continue to open more - please do not play pickup games with people outside of your household
